Backstage TNA News: Christy Hemme's Contract, Lockdown Update

-- The opening match for this Sunday's TNA Lockdown pay-per-view will be James Storm vs. Rob Van Dam. The winner of the match will get the "numbers advantage" for his team in the Lethal Lockdown main event.

-- The X Division Title match at TNA's Lockdown pay-per-view will now be a Triple Threat with Doug Williams defending against Shannon Moore and Kaz.

-- For what it's worth, The Honky Tonk Man wrote on Facebook that Christy Hemme's new three-year deal with TNA is worth $175,000 a year, far more than the other TNA Knockouts are earning. Note from Ryan Clark: I find that number extremely hard to believe. I'm not going to say it's fake but $175,000 a year is just ridiculous. $175,000 over three years seems more realistic but even that number is high for a TNA Knockout. Honky's Facebook says that Eric Bischoff played a big part in getting Hemme her new deal. Honky also claims that Hemme's new deal with TNA has left some of the other Knockouts upset. This is HTM we're talking about so who knows.
